Lesson 11: Job Costing

Lesson Objectives
On completion of this lesson, you will be able to

Enable and capture job costing details in Tally.ERP 9

Record the consumption of materials for each job
Generate the report for jobs carried out in multiple godowns
Compare and analyse jobs done

Job Costing applies to specific jobs undertaken according to customer requirements and specifi-
cations. Tally.ERP 9 enables the tracking of cost and revenue information down to the smallest
detail.
In order to determine the actual costs incurred, every job is assigned a job number or a job name.
Job costing systems determine the costs separately for each product or service, based on the
jobs undertaken.
In a typical job costing environment:
Many non-standard (customised) products/ service are produced/ rendered.
Orders are executed based on customer requirements.
Cost records are maintained for each distinct job.
Costs are traced or allocated to jobs.

The advantages of Job Costing are as follows.

Costs can be alloted to each element while the job is in progress.
On the completion of a job, each element of cost, selling price and profit can be compared
with estimates made earlier and other similar jobs.
Suitable methods can be used to determine the price on a cost plus contract basis.

Tracking Numbers
Many businesses deliver stock with a delivery note or a challan and the bill
is raised later. There may be a situation where a bill is raised first and the
goods are delivered against it or the goods are received later against a pur-
chase bill.
In either case, it is important to ‘track’ the delivery or receipt of inventory
against the bill. Tally.ERP 9 provides a facility called Tracking Numbers to
achieve the same.

Points to Remember
Job Costing is evaluating the cost of each specific job order.
Tally.ERP 9 permits you to create a Godown / Location where you need
not store materials but treat it as a virtual godown.
Tally.ERP 9 allows a stock journal voucher type to be used as a manu-
facturing and as a non-manufacturing journal.
A Manufacturing journal voucher type is used to track the list of compo-
nents used, its value and the additional cost of manufacture associated
with each product.
A stock journal voucher type that is not used as a manufacturing jour-
nal, can be used to create voucher classes for the purpose of inter-
godown transfers and for job costing consumption records.
There are two levels of reports generated in job costing viz., Job Work
Analysis and Material Summary Report
